+WhatsRNutts Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I'm new to the premium membership thing and messing with PQ's. I made one for my home coords and got the results like they should be. but now I'm puting in coords for a place in dallas I will be staying at and everytime I run the PQ it sends me caches for WAY south TX. but if I plug in the SAME coords under hide/seek a cache it gives me caches in the dallas area(which are the right ones BTW) what is going on with the PQ's??

Jeremy Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Before running the pocket query try to preview it. Also, when on the edit page for that Pocket Query you can copy and paste the URL in the forums. Others can look at it and comment on why it may be wrong, but include the coordinates you want in the post so people can check against them. Link to comment
Jeremy Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I'll add that the users who see the edit page will not be able to change your Pocket Query nor see any of your personal information (such as email address). They will, however, have your options preset so they can create and test the pocket query for themselves. Link to comment
+WhatsRNutts Posted October 19, 2005 Author Share Posted October 19, 2005 (edited) this is what caches are sent to me....sent to me my PQ with the coords N32 59.686 W096 58.626 what I should get edited..... thanks Jeremy! Edited October 19, 2005 by wreckelite Link to comment
Jeremy Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 This is actually the correct link. http://www.geocaching.com/pocket/gcquery.a...b6-ae80861c65c1 It doesn't have the coordinates entered. Not only do you need to include coordinates but you have to check the button "By Coordinates." It was probably just showing you a bunch of random caches in Texas. Link to comment
+WhatsRNutts Posted October 19, 2005 Author Share Posted October 19, 2005 OMG! i think I finally figured it out..maybe. The "within" option marked it "none selected" and ran it again and viola, I get the right caches! Link to comment
+WhatsRNutts Posted October 19, 2005 Author Share Posted October 19, 2005 the link i gave you was the right one....the one you posted was one I was tinkering around with. and the coords won't stay in the box after I press the submit button. But I think I finally got it figured out..thank you so much for you help. Link to comment
